Clifton resident and 2012 U.S. Olympian Marcus Browne (2-0, 2 KOs) will make his New York professional debut this Saturday night and Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The 22-year-old National Amateur champion and three-time Golden Gloves winner is expecting his fans to be out in full force when he faces Mobile,
Ala.'s Josh Thorpe (1-2) in a four round lightweight bout.

The fight is one of several bouts on the undercard of the title match between future
Hall of Famer Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins and undefeated IBF Light
Heavyweight World Champion Tavoris "Thunder" Cloud.

Appearing on Fox and Friends live from Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn Tuesday morning, Browne showed the program's anchor, Anna Kooiman, some boxing moves and talked about making his New York professional debut this Saturday night.

"Yes, it's a beautiful feeling. I can't wait to put on a show on for my family and friends. It's been a long-time coming" said Browne.

And what about fighting at Barclays. "I was there for some fights earlier in the year and it was electric," he said.

Browne turned pro last November and has already racked
up two wins by knockout. In his November debut, he defeated unbeaten
Codale Ford in three rounds and then dispatched the hard-hitting Ritchie
Cherry in one round on December 15 in Los Angeles.
